Na Hongera kwa F.C. Sevilla kwa kuingia fainali ya Europa League. Hopefully vikombe vyote vya Ulaya vitabaki nyumbani.

Sevilla did not play particularly well in the first half against Almería on Sunday. Having travelled back from Florence, via Bologna, and arrived in the Andalusian capital at 6am on Friday the team were unable to train that day and only had one session on Saturday, leading coach Unai Emery to leave several first-choice players out of the squad. That, combined with the unseasonal heat in Andalusia, led to a below-par 45 minutes from the home side with Almería clearly in control.


However, after the break Sevilla got back into the game and looked again like the side that this season has achieved the club's highest-ever points total in Primera División. As Denis Suárez has since revealed, a lot had to do with Emery's half time team talk. "You can't say goodbye to the Sevilla fans like this," the coach told the side on the occasion of their final home match of the season. Citing the love the fans have shown the team this season Emery spurred his charges on to a win.


After the game, Emery made a remark to touch the heart of every Sevilla fan: "Every day when I wake up I give thanks to Sevilla for being where I am today."

Iñigo Martínez spoke to the assembled media as Real Sociedad prepare for the last league game of the season away to Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. Still disappointed following on from Sunday’s 0-3 home reverse against Granada, the player expressed his disquiet with the season.
-Reflection on the season. "It’s true that it’s been a mixed season, with certainly more negative moments despite the odd occasion where things seemed to be going our way. We came into Sunday’s game in decent form and with a positive dynamic and we hoped to beat Granada. The game was terrible for us, both first and second halves and it’s normal that the crowd get frustrated".


-Bad season. "The early part of the season was difficult. Then we had a change of coach, Moyes came in with the intention of improving and changing things and it hasn’t worked out so well. Now we need to look forward, new players will come in during the summer and we need to see with these new additions if we can improve and aim to finish higher in the league".


-The annoyance of the supporters. "The fans get behind us when things go well and when things are not so good they request that you improve. We played badly on Sunday and we need to ne mature enough to accept the criticism and annoyance of our fans".

Real Sociedad centre-back Inigo Martinez says he is relaxed amid rumoured interest from Premier League side Liverpool.


Martinez, 24, has been linked with a move to Anfield in the summer, with some reports suggesting that the Reds had already made a £14 million offer for the twice capped Spain international.
The Basque told a news conference that he was not worried about the speculation and reminded reporters he still had two years on his current contract.


"These type of rumours come and go," Martinez said. "I am relaxed as I have two more years on my contract. So I am not worried about these type of things."
